Interaction between teams

Ownership​

Now that you have set your teams in Catalog you can start using it. Wait I haven't done that yet.

Go to your favorite table or dashboard and assign the responsible team as owner!

Comments​

Every asset page in Catalog contains a "Comments section".

It's a great place to ask questions if existing definitions do not cover everything.

For example:

  • Who is the owner of this asset?
  • Can a definition be more explicit (include units...)?
  • Will the asset become depreciated?

Whenever you have a question about an asset, it's a good place to check if someone has already answered it

Keep in mind that you can metion users using the "@" handle.
